Keratin Smoothing Treatment at Home: What to Expect

A keratin smoothing treatment is the salon’s answer to frizz, and it is one of the best services to have done at home because of how relaxing and long the appointment is.

What is a keratin smoothing treatment?

Keratin treatments infuse the hair with smoothing proteins and seal them in with heat. The treatment reduces frizz, softens texture, and dramatically cuts your daily styling time. It is not a chemical straightener: your hair keeps its movement and body, it just stops fighting you on humid days.

Who is a keratin treatment best for?

Anyone whose hair puffs, frizzes, or takes too long to blow-dry. It is especially popular in coastal Los Angeles and Orange County, where ocean air adds moisture to the hair all year round. Clients with wavy, frizzy, or unruly hair see the biggest transformation.

How long does it last?

A professional keratin smoothing treatment typically lasts around three to five months, depending on your hair texture, how often you wash, and the aftercare products you use. Your stylist will recommend a sulfate-free, sodium-chloride-free shampoo to extend your results.

What the at-home appointment is like

Your hair is washed with a clarifying shampoo, the treatment is applied section by section, sealed with a flat iron, and then rinsed and styled. You recline in your own comfortable chair the whole time. Plan for the appointment without washing your hair for the first couple of days afterward if your formula requires it; Christina will give you exact aftercare instructions before she leaves.
